Gide, as we learn from countless entires in the Journals, was beginning to read again, he was counting influences. His re-reading of Stendhal, Dostoevsky, Merimee, Rimbaud and Lautreamont, were not mere exercises in blood-transfusion, their merits were already latent in himself, and the "explanation of himself" can be found in the group of Prefaces included in the collection --- Here we have his famous 'The Ten French Novels' and essays that range from Mythology to Dada.' (Quote from inside front and rear of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the first edition in English, complete in its dustwrapper in very nice collectable condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
